    His radar seemed to be a little low. I was tooling along minding my own business when highway patrol pulls me over. 73 in a 65 is what I get dinged for. Looks like I took this one for the team. Dammit...what a crappy way to end a good day...

    That sucks!!!!!! big time. Sorry to hear it. I ran 73/74 all the way back, got close to D and ran into a stretch of 10 miles where there were 5 cops with ppl pulled over.

    BAD COPS----Speed Traps suck!!!!!!!


    I too had another great time with you TALON guys!

    I hate that the track left lane sucked soo bad at the end!!! That hurt a bunch of normally really consistent guys (Ron, Adam, and Mark). I only had to run one real race and got my ass handed to me but at least it was a TALON guy (TrueBlueAggie) and someone who had been trying a long time to get his big win!

    Congrats Micheal!!!

    Now I just gotta get my truck dyno tuned so Terry can squeeze that last couple of tenths out of it for me and get into the low 12's.

    It was fun being at the track with everyone............. . Hopefully everyone made it home without any problems.

    73 in a 65?????????????????? I would have ended up getting shot by that cop .

    IMHO....that is about the most cheese dick ticket I have heard of. Everyone knows 65 is just the suggested speed..........75 is recommended. What happened to the 10 mph courtesy???

    You caused me to look at my slips. All my wins happened to be in the right lane . My loss was in the left lane........that just sucks.

    A few of us went to Hallsville about a month ago. The track was like greased owl sh!t. The track owner keeps bragging about the great new way he is prepping the track . I have a feeling the conditions are going to stay as they are. I may give it one more go, but if I run into the same crap again...I won't be back there.

    Good times hanging out and racing.

    Congrats Micheal on winning the bracket class


    We counted 4 troopers within a 2 mile stretch on I20 just east of 80

    Talking I'm just glad...

    Tommy, I'm just glad that we did not spin in the Final Round. I have a mpeg file of the final, but I cannot post it because of size. (19,000 KB).

    Talon took all the bracket racing trophies! There were only Talon members in the last 5 racers (Mark #2, SonicBlueTommy, Rocks, Stormshadow, and me) That was the best part of the day. Dennis, how many did we have show up to the race today???

    Scott, once again.....you did a kick ass job on the trophies. I had the chance to check it out when I got to the house, and it is just too cool.

    And thanks to Terry for giving my wife cash to buy lunch for herself. I'm sure that $5 will be added to my next labor bill at Christmas time.....

    That was the best part of the day.
    followed VERY closely by that TA that defied gravity and pulled a few "1 oclock" wheelies

    Talking "TA"????

    Are we talking about the Pontiac TA, or the starting line operator "TA"?

    Yep. Great to meet up with you guys today. Guess I missed some excitement on the way home? I got mine going out there, though. Fortunately the ossifer let me off with just a warning.

    I did see a few cops on the way home, but I guess since I left early I got lucky. Was typically running near 80 all the way.
